Hahahalloweeen :)

Huhuuu Cutiepies and Honeybees :) 

Wow it already is the end October right now agaaain :S and Halloween is just around the corner now ;) Here in Germany this isn´t really something special or celebrated ;) the only thing are the hollowed pumpkins and motto parties :) So I just thought where this Halloween hype might come from and discovered that it is especially in GB and the USA such a big festivity just like our carnival time or something like this ;)

But there are also pages on the internet like : Halloween around the world, blaabla blah so i asked myself what do others do on this day to make it so special, because here we only have a free day of work from Allerheiligen on 1st of november ;) and this year also the special luther celebration day ;) but in Ireland or the Us some really go crazy on this day ;) there are endless websites about pumpkin recipes, trick or treats, scary bloody costumes and so on... :) really stunning to see :S haha :) 

So it all started in Ireland ;) where the people are all dressing up as creepy horrible figures and making bonfires at night :) and after trick-or treating they are also going for halloween motto parties, playing games like snap-apple and eating barnbrack :) The idea of putting out hollowed pumpkins also came from their country, because it was said that Jack O´Lantern derieved from hell and was banned to wander between heaven and hell ;) so the only thing he had was a candle in a hollowed beetroot ;) so there the tradition ;) 

In the Us this may also be a little bit kind of like this I think ;) But there are sooo different traditions as well, honoring the dead and all Saint´s Day on 1 st of November :

In Guatemala for example the people are decorating their cemeteries with colourful painted kites and handmade posters ;) Just as El Dia de Los Muertos is celebrated in Mexico, which i think worldwide is more known ;) Here the people bring food, candles, flowers and other arrangements on the cemeteries for celebrating the reunion with their loved dead ones ;) They also bake skull shaped sweets and the bread of the dead for this event ;) Also in the whole country parades in honor of the deads are held, where everyone dresses up in skeleton or ghost themed costumes ;) 


So here in Germany Halloween is not so much celebrated, but it develops as well ;) On Allerheiligen tomorrow we also visit our beloved dead ones on the cemetery and decorate the graves with new flowers and arrangements ;) Lets see ;) I hope this post didn´t bore you but i just enjoyed writing it heheee ;) 

Wish you all a lovely sunny last day of October now ;) hopefully with much spoooooooky stories ;) xxxx
